Abstract

An information center device computes a guided route. It selects a newly opened road connecting to the guided route and traces the newly opened road from the connection point to a point at which the newly opened road intersects another road. Then, it determines block maps containing the traced newly opened road as those to be transmitted to the automobile navigation system. Therefore, the automobile navigation system can utilize block maps containing the newly opened road connected to the guided route as well as block maps associated with the guided route. As a result, the user can get information on where the newly opened road leads and connects, and easily deviate from the guided route and select a route going through the newly opened road at his / her own will.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is based on and incorporates herein by reference Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-226671 filed on Aug. 23, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to an information system that gives guidance on a route to a specified destination and the like.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In recent years, there have been known routing assistance devices that acquire map information from an information center via a communication network and gives route guidance using the acquired map information. With such a routing assistance device, the latest map information in the possession of an information center is always available without changing a map disk such as DVD-ROM when map information is updated.

[0004] However, there is limitation on the amount of map information acquirable from an information center at a time because of the limited size of the storage area in a routing assistance device, the limited channel c...
